Very good cappuccino: not just a small latté. Lox, egg, capers, on gluten-free toast was well done. Lots of Palestinian baked goods.
Nice corner location on Shattuck. Great light and solid wood tables. Outdoor tables too.
Order in-person or by touchscreen.
The EDM playing is on the mellow side.

The place is super cool we like it so far
I give 4 star because we were craving Kunafa and this was not the same one we used to have in Palestine. I recommend they change the ghee to the organic ( halloub )
every thing else was super good

Cute location with indoor and outdoor seating. They have lots of ice cream options. Simple chai and mocha with one person having pastry. Busy with mostly young students and some older patrons mid day crowd. Lucky to get a seat.

Went to roast and toast , more specifically for the cart in store which sells booza. A type of ice cream made by mastic which gives the it chewiness. Chewiness ice cream ??? How's that work??
It works perfectly . It closely resembles the consistency of Gelato even though they are vastly different .
There are toppings and flavors. The toppings are pistachio crumbs , rose petals and the crunchy kanefh? They always add all of them in after they take out the booza except some of the ice cream flavor where It doesn't mesh. You can take it to go or eat at the coffee shop.
The flavors or the original which is good and all if you don't like the unique taste of the others . The most immensely popular one is the rose cardamom. Both times I have went they were out so fast they had to chill another one and for good reason, it might be their best flavor . If you don't know what cardamom is, it's what they use for indian/middle eastern tea and for some of their food . I highly recommend getting this flavor even if you have to wait 15 mins for it .
The salted caramel and dark chocolate are next up which is new offerings.
The dark chocolate is something for chocolate lovers only ! It's extremely chocolately and rich so if you don't like the taste of strong chocolate this won't be for you
Sea salt caramel, wow I thought I tasted the best sea salt caramel but this one was probably my second favorite. This had a very light touch of sea salt caramel . Not too strong but not light either. I would always recommend stopping by here because this ice cream is something you won't find anywhere else
I did also try the kanefh which is kanefh dough with mozzarella cheese with pistachio crumbs on top. It does take about 15 ish minutes so prepare to wait . It is very good , however , I feel like a $10 price point might be a bit expensive but once in a while it's worth it
As for their other menu items. Some items are halal while others are not so make sure to confirm with the staff which one is halal and which one isn't

I had the most amazing experience at this cafe. I was having a tough morning with my toddler and the lovely owner popped out the door, cheered us up with genuine kindness. We had a pastry and tea, both delicious. I cannot wait to try the beautiful ice cream and other lovely treats!
